INSPIRED BY THE SOCIAL IMPACT EFFORTS OF THE 'ALL NEW' MICKEY MOUSE CLUB
The 'All New' Mickey Mouse Club debuted in 1989. Much more than a variety show, it tackled important social issues of the day. And as a performing arts academy, it trained some of the biggest stars in the world including En Vogue's Rhona Bennett, Christina Aguilera, The Voice's Tony Lucca, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Chasen Hampton, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell, Hallmark Channel's Nikki DeLoach, and NSYNC's JC Chasez, among many others.
Reunited Mouseketeers and more than 10,000 long-time fans helped launch Always In The Club Foundation and its MMC'89 Social Impact Initiative to support those who need it most through projects, programs, and outreach campaigns spearheaded by cast members of the now iconic show.
OUR MISSION
Inspired by the support that Mouseketeers received from Disney in their youth, our mission is to enhance the lives of young people through Arts Education and Mentoring, while empowering socially conscious efforts guided by the United Nations' 17 Global Goals for a better world by 2030.
OUR PROGRAMS
Youth Arts Education and Mentorship: Mouseketeers are lending their unique insights to support young people through arts education and mentoring - essential for social and emotional well-being, and critical tools for establishing equity and access.
Our programs include sponsoring Experiential Learning opportunities at Disney Imagination Campus at Disney theme parks. For over 60 years, Disney has focused on educational workshops and programs for students that make it easy for young people to develop their skills and grow while they are learning.
MMC'89 Social Impact Initiative - Through events, grants, and awareness campaigns, we promote the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or Global Goals), and support Changemakers working to address the global challenges we face including those related to poverty, inequality, and climate change.
Spearheaded by Mouseketeer and Executive Director of Always In The Club, Chasen Hampton, we have trained more than 1,000 students and produced hundreds of live shows for children and young adults. Former students have gone on to sign with Disney, Epitaph Records, Capitol, Sony Red, Universal Music Group, and seen all over the world in festivals and on stages such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, GMA , Jimmy Kimmel, iHeart Music Awards and many more. Chasen is a staunch supporter and #DistrictAdvocate of The Recording Academy’s MusiCares initiative to bring music back into our classrooms promoting diversity and inclusion through the arts.
Through awareness campaigns and fundraisers, we've collaborated with some of the biggest names in Hollywood to inspire and train more than 5,000 socially conscious entrepreneurs, and helped raise more than $4 million for outstanding nonprofits.
We provided marketing and production support to help raise $100,000 for the Jenesse Center Domestic Violence & Prevention program, as part of events that helped Ambassador Halle Berry amplify her call to action. Halle had an open discussion with our moderator detailing her own traumatic experiences during one of the events produced for humanitarians and socially conscious entrepreneurs.
Always In The Club co-produced the After Party for the inaugural 90s Con featuring The Party and reunited Mouseketeers, where we helped raise more than $10,000 for the Alzheimer's Association and another $30,000 for our programs. 90s Con featured icons of the era such as TLC, Christopher Lloyd, Neve Campbell, Joey Lawrence, members of Backstreet Boys, NSYNC's Joey Fatone, and cast reunions of Full House, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, and The 'All New' Mickey Mouse Club, among many others.
Cast members from all seven seasons of the 'All New' Mickey Mouse Club reunited at Walt Disney World® Resort and MEGACON™ Orlando for #MMC30 - celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the debut episode. #MMC30 was hosted by NSYNC's Joey Fatone on May 17-19, 2019. As a nonprofit effort with auctioned items provided by Mouseketeers including Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, En Vogue's Rhona Bennett, and The Voice's Tony Lucca, we raised $20,000 for charities including Give Kids The World Village that provides cost free vactions to Disney parks for critically ill children and their families. We also sponsored 24 underprivileged youth that completed certain educational programs, with a cost-free trip to join the Mouskeeteers at Walt Disney World Resort. The event was produced by Always In The Club as part of our MMC'89 Social Impact Initiative. Mouseketeers reunited again in 2021 at Disney World to support Give Give the World, providing more than $7,000 in contributions while livestreaming educational programs to more than 2,000 youth delegates around the world.
Our MMC'89 Social Impact Initiative is currently comprised of 12 PROGRAMS & CAMPAIGNS addressing all 17 of the Global Goals. We support youth education, climate action, feeding the hungry, critically ill children, victims of domestic abuse, music people in need, socially conscious entrepreneurship, job creation, veterans' issues, and mental health concerns such as depression, PTSD, and Alzheimer's, among others.
